I found this family tradition absolutely fascinating. I wish I had thought of this years ago. Bravo, and thanks for sharing

What a fantastic project. I have one client that comes in to the studio every Nov for a father daughter portrait, its a shame more people don't do more of this.

I love these photos! They are fantastic and a great idea. It is so interesting to see how the boys facial features change and how much more they look alike as they grew. What a great idea to include with a family genealogy.

I have been following this website and family for several years now, and I always enjoy coming back to see the latest photos, because I love this idea of following the family chronologically.

With that said, I was disturbed to see the tactless and tasteless comments made by individuals who are clearly bored and have no sense of decency or respect. Shame on you for being a cyberbully. You should be embarrassed for your comments and for the disrespect you have shown this family who were kind enough to share a piece of their lives with the rest of the world.

I want to express my thanks and gratitude to this family for sharing this website and for their generosity. I look forward to future viewings.

Sincerely,

James Garland

Ever since I found the 1997 photo, which I downloaded and keep for its great sociological value, I had hoped to find newer post and until today had not been able. Saludos from West Virginia, USA

This is a fantastic record of a family. I saw this several years ago and it inspired me to start my own chronology:

I wonder why we want to make sure that people look happy whenever they're in front of a camera. What if they're not in the mood at that very moment? If someone is sad, should they delay the photo session or just fake the smile? Would we know what they look like normally?

I've been looking for this for a while now. This was it! Thank you! I freaking love this.

Fantastic representation of time passing. So funny to see the changes.I have also photographed my daughter every year for the past 18 years beginning when she was 3 months old, with the same background and as close to the same lighting as possible.Good thing I went with a large background initially. Looks like I'll have another 17 years to go to get to your 35 years of recording.
Bravo!!!

It's a wonderful idea, to share such passion with their family!
If I'll find the "right girl", I share my photo with her.
For now I have only 29 years pictures, taken every 30th december, at the same studio.

Last year, I asked a friend to came with me, to shot this short video.

- Fascinating but disturbing

There's something a tad disturbing in the family never changing their expression in these photos; hope they are happier than these photos suggest!

One of the things about looking at a family photo book is getting to see our expressions change, our smiles, our pranks, the full range of emotion we can show - without seeing that here, I feel something about the photographs is incomplete. But that's just a personal impression - this is certainly a fascinating project.

That is really awesome! We are constantly changing and as so we can't see it. So this couple has made a great thing! One moment that I like most is that these people were shot in the same position and surrounding each time which makes the changes occured in their appearacnce even more noticeble.

- Theme and Variations

Bravo! I had seen the the series of only Susy published in a magazine several years ago and I was so moved by the gentle dignity in her face, the constancy of the act. When I taught an Arts Studies seminar called "Theme and Variations in the Arts," I described the project (not knowing it involved the whole family) to me students as a perfect exemplar. Then today I found the website and forwarded the URL to the class. Such a profound and singular accomplishment. Warmest regards, J. Kramer

Can you notice the dramatic change of the face impressions in mids of 2000's? Before then family was posing to their dad. But after being recognised by the masses via internet, they began to pose for the whole world. Evolution from ordinary impressions to Facebook portraits...

This work represents a true demonstration of a strong will power. Congratulations Mr Diego and family.

- My annual visit

Hello. I'm very impressed with a family that not only spends time together, but has documented it over the years. I first found out about you many years ago and bookmarked your site. I try to remember every June to visit again. I actually came back again this year for some odd reason to find the new addition. Love it!

Thanks for sharing such a lovely family tradition. Very inspiring.
